The Global Deterioration Scale for Assessment of Primary Degenerative Dementia
The Global Deterioration Scale (GDS), developed by Dr. Barry Reisberg, provides caregivers an overview of the stages of cognitive function for those suffering from a primary degenerative dementia such as Alzheimer's disease. It is broken down into 7 different stages. Stages 1-3 are the pre-dementia stages. Stages 4-7 are the dementia stages. Biginning in stage 5, an individual can no longer survive without assistance. Within the GDS, each stage is numbered (1-7), given a short title (i.e., Forgetfulness, Early Confusional, etc. followed by a brief listing of the characteristics for that stage. Caregivers can get a rough idea of where an individual is at in the disease process by observing that individual's behavioral characteristics and comparing them to the GDS. For more specific assessments, use the accompanying Brief Cognitive Rating Scale (BCRS) and the Functional Assessment Staging (FAST) measures.
1단계= No cognitive decline
2단계= Very mild cognitive decline (Age Associated Memory Impairment)
3단계= Mild cognitive decliine (Mild Cognitive Impairment) 경도 인지장애 / 경도 신경인지장애
4단계= Moderate cognitive decline (Mild Dementia) 경도 주요신경인지장애
5단계= Moderately severe cognitive decline (Moderate Demetia) 중등도 주요신경인지장애
6단계= Severe cognitive decline (Moderately severe Dementia) 고도 주요신경인지장애
7단계= Very Severe cognitive decline (Severe Dementia) 최고도 주요신경인지장애
